Very ...

The famous i20 steering rattle problem has stuck the new fluidic verna too. There is noise of steering rattle when I pass through uneven road and potholes. Took it to hyundai workshop and they opened the front panel and checked if something is loose inside dashboard as they ruled out it cannot be steering rattle. Noise disappeared after they fixed again. Took 2 test drives too and there was no noise. Before reaching home the noise started again. There was one more 1.6 SX with the same problem. Will visit again next week.

seems like i am indeed the odd one out.
checked with a few petrol verna owners on other forums as well as in the area and dealership. they get a steady 14 kmpl minimum being 13 max being 15kmpl
don't know why I'm getting just 10kmpl they all drive at 100+ speeds.

neil do you get any unusual noises from your rear suspension?

There is no such unusual noise comes from my verna. My problem is with front suspension. tell what kind of unusual sound you are hearing so that we can check it with our vehicles.

Seems that yours FE problem is not sorted out yet. I usually get FE in the range of 18 to 20 with AC on and it crosses 22 without AC, though mine is diesel.

my car seems like its lost a bit of shine, maybe because of my trip to hong kong where all cars had a wet glossy shine.
anyways i will be going to buy paste wax for my car, the liquid wax seems fine for 2 days i have this wax in mind will see if i can get it from opera house or order it online
heres it :D

Saw this wax at local car accessory show at around 2600 price. All carnuba waxes are good, formula 1 is good too. You need a rotating buffer to get most shine out of carnuba wax.

I guess you have upgrated the tyres to 205/50. Isnt that making any effect on your fe?

Thanks

the vtvt is a stunning good engine very silent and very aggressive, I'm sorry i did not get what you said of the diesel engine. However the vtvt feels awesome from 4500 rpms onward in second as well as third gear, fourth and fifth need better roads, fe i get is low however the other gets between 13-15kmpl

@gears1313 yeah i have upsized but when i picked up the car from the showroom it s fe was giving me a steady 7kmpl i thought since the engines new its fine. bensam here to has upsized and he gets 26kmpl in his diesel.

unusual noises are from my rear suspensions under medium load as well as full load, the car goes down and than violently bounces back up after a bump or pothole. Its like a poping noise

Hi Nick why I meant was the Diesel AT had a lot of turbo lag and I felt the petrol was far far better. The dealer has suggested to go for the below accessories :

sunfilm 3ms are good. my friend has 3m in his and i have the expensive vkool honestly i find them both same.
anti rust coating is good.
art leather seats i think you may get a better choice and design from out.

well you are with my i somehow find petrol cars to be more smoother but diesels have better torque

and don't go in for any teflon coating or anything.
just buy a can of a good authentic paste wax and do it your self the black car will look hot.

I quite agree found the petrol very good. The Teflon quoting is complementary the dealer is quoting 21k for the above is it a fair deal?
